The stands fell silent. Everyone in the audience was utterly speechless. They’d been so sure that Rubens Mengelberg had the upper hand. They’d seen for themselves how his anomaly-inducing magic had forced Noelle Springfield into a desperate situation. But strangely, just when the situation had spelled disaster for her, her magic levels had shot up.

What...? a scout thought. What just happened?

The scouts who had come to the match couldn’t get their heads around this turn of events. The old magician was a veteran, the greatest duelist in Liesvania, and he had built up an overwhelming advantage—but Noelle Springfield had turned things around by force and won the duel.

Impossible... How could this happen...? Labored breathing and a dry mouth reflected the scout’s astonishment. What on earth is she?

◇ ◇ ◇

I’d finally secured my place at the finals of the World Magic Championships. I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that I’d already achieved something that had eluded all of Ardenfeld’s national representatives at the previous tournament. I was pleased that I hadn’t ended up as a cheerleader after being the only team member to be eliminated. I would’ve hated to let Luke get ahead of me.

Well, I still felt like I was lagging behind a little bit, since he’d handily won his duel in only fourteen seconds, but I chose not to worry about that. After all, the outcomes were the same, and I’d had to deal with a tougher opponent too.

Yeah, we’re basically on the same level, I thought.

Anyway, the most important thing was that I was going to the finals. I needed to work hard to repay at least some of the kindness everybody had shown me.

My body was heavy with exhaustion, but there was something nice about that feeling. I guess it was just the satisfaction of a job well done. People had believed in my ability as a magician and had entrusted me with an important duty. In the dark days when I’d been treated like a waste of space, I never could’ve dreamed that I’d have such a fulfilling job. Once again, I felt so lucky to be in this position.

That afternoon, I was rewarded with some time off.

“Hey, Luke! Let’s explore the town together!”

Luke acted surprised. “S-Sure. Let me get ready.”

I waited outside for him to join me.

I guess they say girls always take forever to get ready... I thought. Suddenly, an uncomfortable realization made me freeze. Wait a minute. Shouldn’t this be the other way around? Could it be...that Luke is more feminine than I am?

No. I can’t accept that. I won’t allow it!

I relied on my mother for absolutely everything—cleaning, laundry, meals—while Luke was so dexterous and precise. When I compared the two of us, I felt like the shock would destroy me, but with great effort, I managed to find a means of denying this inconvenient truth.

Actually, the true measure of a woman is how quickly she gets ready. See, I’m such a clever, sophisticated lady that with my efficiency in getting dressed, I can afford to sleep until ten minutes before I’m supposed to leave.
